FULL STORY ======================================================================

Smart home lighting brand Signify will be launching new lighting fixtures under the Philip Hue name to help you personalize the outside and inside of your house.

Chief among these is the Dymera, a device that goes up on a wall emitting two beams of light from the top and bottom. Both sides can be configured individually so you can have the top light shine in color while the bottom
one emits white light. Signify states users can configure the fixtures brightness level via the Philip Hue mobile app. Its also on the app where you can adjust the color of the lighting as well as set scenes via the gallery section.

These are distinct lighting arrays and can, for example, be used to have the devices beams slowly transition from one shade of color to another. Philips offers a variety of pre-made scenes on its website or you can make your own
to suit your needs. (Image credit: Signify/Phillips Hue)

Notable features include support for Bluetooth connectivity as well as a resistance rating of IP44 allowing it to handle splashes of water with ease. Illuminating the homestead

Alongside the Dymera is the new Philip Hue Secure floodlight camera. Unfortunately, we dont know a whole lot about the Secure model as Signify is keeping its cards close to its chest. The company did tell us it will be powerful enough to illuminate your backyard, patio, or driveway in a variety of colors from bright white to red. Initial images of the Secure device show it consists of a floodlight sitting on top of an outdoor camera.

There is a catch with this model. You will need to own a Philips Hue Bridge
to use it. (Image credit: Signify/Philips Hue)

The last announced fixtures are accessories. Theyre called Perifo T connector and the Perifo flexible connector. As their names suggest, the pair is meant to support the rail lights from the Perifo series.

The Perifo T, as you can probably guess, is a T-shaped rail going off in
three different directions, giving homeowners a way to illuminate the darkest corners of a room. The Perifo flexible connector, on the other hand, consists of two separate rails connected by a cable. This option will let you string lights together in any shape you want. That way, you can get around those tricky corners. (Image credit: Signify/Philips Hue) Availability

It appears these lights will come out in the UK first.

The Secure floodlight is available right now at 299.99. A few weeks after that, the Perifo flexible connector will be released on February 6 for 29.99. The Dymera has a launch date of February 27. Itll cost you 199.99. Lastly is the Perifo T connector. Its slated for a Q1 2024 launch at 34.99 a pop. An exact date was not given.

Its unknown exactly when Signify will roll out these products in the US or
EU, but we do know itll happen. Tech news site NotebookCheck managed to discover American and European listings for the Dymera. The outdoor fixture will retail for $219.99 and 219.99 , respectively. A release date was not given, however, you can sign up for email notifications for when it
eventually goes on sale.

We scoured the Philips Hue website for listings on the other products but sadly came up with nothing. So we reached out to Signify asking for more details. This story will be updated at a later time.
